Kills me I can't go to the non-Coachella show here! Argh, next time.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 15:57 (twelve years ago) link
The album's loads of fun, but I confess that I gravitate much more towards the surprisingly poppy tunes ("Get Got," "I've Seen Footage," "Hacker")

i was just trolling -- i don't really like this band but it's really not my thing, that said "i seen footage" but anything that rips "push it" would be

can't remember when i last found a record as hard to make through as exmilitary
― liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 10:02 (twelve years ago) link
I find it very mood-dependent. Before reviewing the new one I listened to Exmilitary again while I was out in town in a foul mood and it felt like someone jamming a sharpened pencil into my ear. Then got stuck into the new one over the next couple of days and got into it straight away. Can't remember the last time my own reactions to a record have been so polarised from one day to the next.

seriously someone help me out with that main sample on The Fever (Aye Aye) - it's driving my nuts

No samples on the record according to Zach.

I've been listening to Exmilitary nonstop as of late. It was like my #50 record of the year or something but I'm realizing i still underrated it

Holy FUCK this record. I love Exmilitary even though it can be wearying at times, wondered if I might not need another Death Grips, but holy FUCK this record. Maybe I'm just caffeine tweaking this AM, I dunno
― Acute puppy syndrome (admrl), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 15:40 (twelve years ago) link
This is the new record I am holy fucking about
Death Grips make me laugh, but in a good way. I am laughing with them, as in at the start of each track OMG this is REALLY how this song is going to go down?? "kudos" Death Grips!!!!
― Acute puppy syndrome (admrl), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 15:42 (twelve years ago) link
You're using THAT sample? really? for the whole song? are you sure? And that's the lyric??? That's REALLY the lyric? How do I feel about that?....Wow, that actually works. Clearly you know how this music thing works far better than I do.
― Acute puppy syndrome (admrl), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 15:44 (twelve years ago) link
agreed. this isn't grabbing me the way the last one was where it was all DEATH Y'ALL and i could ride a bit more with that, but it's very good.Need to listen like 8 zillion more times over the next month before i talk too much about it i think
― boy, was that Dan Fielding hungry for some cake! (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 15:44 (twelve years ago) link
I think I like this more than Exmilitary, tbh. Though I do miss how "Beware" sets up that record. There's nothing that stalks me in quite the same way here. I love how that song is like, come over here, no no I'm not going to brutalize you, I just want to talk about some curious and deep ideas I've been having, oh wait actually I lied, BOOM
― Acute puppy syndrome (admrl), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 15:47 (twelve years ago) link
Is there really a lyric in "Hacker" that goes You're an intern/I'M WIKILEAKS? haha

Ride is developing a Mark E Smith level talent for non sequiturs that end up sequituring
― bendy, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 16:14 (twelve years ago) link
so this is out huh?
and yeah the setup of beware is so so good

Reminds me of MU
― Evan, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:28 (twelve years ago) link
Or Mu, whichever it is. That Afro Finger & Gel album.
― Evan, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 17:32 (twelve years ago) link
maybe it's because I've been in a Depeche Mode rabbit hole for the past week but I tried to listen to Exmilitary and got really sick of it three songs in
I'll try again later when I'm not all synthpopped to death

i preferred this album to the mixtape, which i could barely get through - bits of it reminded me of gang gang dance in a sideways spirit - but oh god his voice is just so one-note and unlistenable
― liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 20:37 (twelve years ago) link
i think you mean awesome and really awesome

mu is a really weird point of comparison, but i guess compressed vox+choppy samples

have to be honest this is not grabbing me :/

NO TALKING ABOUT PLATO ON TOUR
what i think i mb liked most about ex-military was the sense of having been awake for 50 hrs, or left alone in an abandoned house til you'd gone feral; that semi-conscious, warm, listless, lizard-brain, head-nodding catharsis.
this album feels way more mannered, funnier, but still w/ that aggression: bludgeoning samples, very satisfyingly put together, still a big sense of relief. death grips are a v therapeutic band

ha yeah, i didn't even notice the venue. i'll more likely see them in seattle. and the crocodile isn't ideal, really, but it'll do.
